Restylane® - Injectable Filler

ABOUT RESTYLANE®

Restylane® is a product whose main component is hyaluronic acid, something your body makes and breaks down on its own, with time. Within the Restylane® line there are a variety of products available to assist in facial contouring; including jawline slimming, cheek enhancement and under eye hollow correction as well as chin and lip augmentation. The Restylane® line also provides the only FDA approved HA filler for the dorsal hands, used to reduce signs of aging. Product selection is based upon consultation with one of our providers. Each of the products in this line differ in longevity and purpose. We currently carry Restylane L, Restylane Lyft, Restylane Refyne, Restylane Defyne and Restylane Kysse.

WHAT TO EXPECT

In preparation for any injectable treatment, including fillers and Botox®, we recommend cessation of all non- essential blood thinning agents for two weeks prior to your appointment, unless directed otherwise by your physician. Do not consume red wine for 2 days prior to your injections. Do not take these products or participate in heavy physical activity for 2 days following your injections, for best results. Also, we require that you do not have any dental work performed, including cleanings, within 1 week before or after your injectable treatment.

What to Expect

During you initial appointment you will meet our providers and receive a consultation. They will sit with you to understand your goals and your history to best determine what injectables are best for you. Not all fillers for example, are intended to do the same job. Cheeks are treated differently than lips, differently than deep facial lines and wrinkles and so on. Your questions will be answered and an individualized plan will be created for you, based on your concerns and goals- keep in mind depending on the amount of correction you may require treatments over a period of multiple visits.

Anticipated Results

Restylane® products, like many types of filler, can cause some degree of swelling for up to one week after your treatment, as well as bruising. However, bruising can be minimized by preparing and following the tips listed above in the preparation section. There may be some redness to the skin following your injections and even small “bee sting” feeling bumps. All of these should improve within days- so please schedule your injectable appointment a week or two prior to any special occasion! Results and correction can be seen immediately, with final results about two weeks after your treatment.
We are often asked how long fillers last and really the true answer is- however long you maintain them! Some Restylane® fillers last longer than others (average is 4-18 months), just like other hyaluronic acid products. However, proper product stacking and maintenance can help you get the most out of your product and treatments!
